Rosemary was a lovely host--- she really took into consideration what we wanted to do on vacation-- giving plenty of recommendations for kids and adults. She included special touches for everyone. House is just as described and pool was a hit too. The beach is about a 5 minute drive (if that). Thanks Rosemary!

The house was clean and our family enjoyed our stay. However, sheets are not included. The owner said it is listed on site that they are extra for 150, but I could not find it at that time. Towels were not washed. Ice maker was broken and not repaired. Pool was not cleaned until the 3rd day. The owner did give us a 50 gift card for the arcade; the kids had a good time.

Family Vacation 2024

Our family - eight adults and four children - ages 7-14 - had a wonderful week in Bethany at this property. The house was perfect and the salt water pool kept kids and grownups happy when we we weren’t at Bethany Beach, Rehoboth, or Ocean City. The location was perfect - as was the weather. The location provided running trails, access to a kayak pond, and was only a short drive to Hocker’s grocery. All this made for a very pleasant week away!

Wonderful vacation home

Spent a wonderful week in this beautiful home. Accommodated the 12 of us very nicely. Kitchen well stocked and happy to see a Keurig. Some of us enjoyed the kayaks on the bay and crabbing from the pier only a short walk away. The free parking passes for the beach were appreciated. Since it was a very hot week, the lovely pool was probably our favorite pastime. The owners were very friendly and helpful when needed. Would not hesitate to stay in this rental again.

Best vacation ever!

This was our yearly family trip to Bethany. With the grandkids nearly adults we didn’t mind being a bit farther away. We usually stay close to the beach. The property was clean and the pool inviting. We had close access to the highway but yet not on top of it. We enjoyed crabbing at the Salt Pond too. Everyone we encountered was friendly. Our only negative comment would be to have access to a second refrigerator. With 5 bedrooms and 10 + people staying it would be very helpful. Otherwise it was everything we could ask for.

Fabulous Vacation

Everything about this property was perfect. The house was clean and spacious and had everything we needed. The teenage girls especially loved their space with their own bathroom. We also enjoyed the pond for paddle boarding but most of all the boys were so excited about catching so many large crabs at the dock. It was very convenient being so close to the house. The pool provided so much fun for all of us especially the kids. Rosemary and Billy are wonderful caring people who respond quickly to any issues. They work hard to make sure your vacation is a good one. Thank you

Wonderful week at Bethany

We had a wonderful time at this property. The house was beautiful and spacious, and perfect for our kids to play safely. The baby gate was much appreciated! We loved having the pool right outside for our private use and the location being so close to the state park and Bethany. We also enjoyed using the kayaks at the picturesque Salt Pond at the end of the private road. Thank you for opening your home to us! We’d love to return again in the future!

The house has a salt water pool that was the perfect size. They had nice outdoor furniture and a gas grill by the pool. They provided a pass for the State parks so we did not pay for parking.

Cool pond location and nice pool-

Positives- the Salt Pond and kayaks, big kitchen table and open concept, nice pool and patio ambiance Things to know- you'll need to bring own sheets, pillowcases, paper products, soap, garbage bags, plastic bags, beach towels... for the amount paid for the week we were surprised at how much we needed to bring and how much we needed to clean (toilets, floors, random stains) and set up ourselves. This house has a lot of potential though.

My husband and I, my sister and her husband and my two daughters and spouses and 2 year old grandson stayed a week. Air conditioning broke on first day. The owner purchased portable air conditioners and all was well again. No issues, great location fun pool but another umbrella would of been great for shade. We would definitely go with this property again or one of this owners other rentals.
